Outlook: "The expectation is that individually as players and coaches and collectively as a team we will always exhibit passion for the game and bring honor and glory to our program's name," said Wardle. "Our strengths will lie in our team-first mentality and our willingness to work hard each and every day to better ourselves not only as individual players but most importantly as a team. The Eagles return four starters this year.

Outlook: The Mustangs return eight starters and 15 returnees from last year's young squad that finished 5-7-3. Three freshmen and three sophomores were in last year's starting 11 and a year of seasoning should have the Mustangs poised for a successful 2011 campaign. CMW might have arguably the toughest public school schedule in the state. Matches against McDonough, Gilman, Mount St. Joe, Salesianum (Del.), River Hill, and Hereford should have them battle tested early. Davis says the goals are to use the tough schedule to identify team weaknesses and prepare for UCBAC and regional competitions. Former CMW player and grad Brian Tully serves as assistant coach.

Outlook: "We have a new team mostly comprised of former junior varsity players," said Chang. "Team has great chemistry and I expect the team to get better as the season progresses." Chang expects to see great goalkeeping by Glover, a team captain and fourth-year varsity player. Chang also expects to see Rizzola and Dado run the offense.

Outlook: "We are looking to return back to past form. We have had a great pre-season, despite Irene," said Hoover. "We had a good scrimmage against South River and we are looking forward to the season. We are looking for our captains to provide critical leadership and perform in those critical points in our matches."

Outlook: After graduating nine seniors from the 2010 roster, this year's team is very young. Pre-season indicators, however, produce optimism that this young roster brings proficient skills and high soccer IQ into the program. "An aggressive mixed schedule of public school and MACSAC conference opponents will soon reveal how good we really are," said Wilson.

Outlook: The Warriors bring back a "junior heavy" nucleus this season fielding just two senior defensemen, no sophomores and a lone freshman newcomer. The Warriors look to be very competitive and move forward on the strength and experience of their core group of returning players, according to assistant coach J.W. Walker.

Outlook: The Patriots are looking to rebound after a rebuilding year in 2010. The 2011 season offers hope and promise with a nice blend of senior experience and leadership with a talented group of underclassmen. This year, John Carroll has scheduled five of the 10 county public high school teams in addition to a very tough MIAA "A" Conference schedule.

Outlook: "This year we have a very young team. With only two returning seniors and two returning juniors to the varsity team, we will have many new faces taking the field," said Orth. "Although the team is young, I expect several new incoming freshmen to step up and contribute in a big way."

Outlook: "With six starters returning and key new additions we are looking to build off a successful 2010 campaign," said Johnstone. "This team is showing great chemistry during the pre-season and working extremely hard."

Outlook: "We have had a great start to the season and have high expectations for the team," said Rich. "With 12 seniors on the roster, we have experience and strong leadership all over the field. The team communicates and moves the ball well, and have really been playing 'as a team.' We have the toughest schedule in our 4 years of a varsity program, but I know the boys are up to the challenge."
